Pain on Surgical Site Years After Surgery

Hi, my mom had surgery to get rid of a uterine fibroid problem maybe over several years ago. I think it was an abdominal hysterectomy procedure. But ever since then, she has sometimes still to a varying degree experienced some kind of either discomfort or pain at the surgical site on movement. She sometimes feels the type of weather makes a difference. She's had already gone back to the surgeon before to talk about the problem but they didn't see anything wrong. So, is this normal?

    Yes, these pains at a very low level are normal, but too much pain is not normal. If it pains very much then you should consult some expert surgeon.

    I have gone through the tummy tuck procedure from the NOVA Plastic Surgery about a year ago. I have very little pain which can be ignored easily and it is sometimes not all the time. You can consult them if you are in Northern Virginia.
